I captured this last Tuesday at Paul Haese's dark sky site and it's way better than my last version of this object. Thanks to Chris Venter for some processing tips and for recommending Adam Block's latest tutorials which have been really useful. I counted over 20 small galaxies in the background of the original full frame. I'd be interested in feedback about saturation and colour balance. It looks different on each of my three monitors at home.
